it is fashionable for people to talk about how they reduce government. i'm glad they weren't as successful as they wanted to be. >> do you feel like you're capitalizing and making political hay of this event that happened? >> i'm talking common sense. i'm saying if the sequester had gone through and we had not had enough money we wouldn't be able to do this. >> john: okay, while the last point of his point is a reach in spite of a sequester cops would have helped the injured. he had the same instinct as nicholas kristof who tweeted explosion is a reminder that atf needs a director. shame on senate republicans for blocking appointment. mr. kristof was quick to realize the poor timing and deleting the tweet and saying people jumping on me for criticizing senate republicans for blocking atf appointments, that was a low blow. i take it back. joining me now to discuss when it is okay to discuss the politics of a tragedy and what that conversation ought to look like please welcome director of communications for the new york state republican state committee, po

in 1938 the nazi government almost deregulated the transfer of shotguns. permits were extended from one year to three almost and age of purchase was lower from 20 to 18, and they dropped the limits of firearms one could own. that's right hitler was anti-gun control. he did ban guns for some people--germany's views. they could not advantage of his relaxed gun laws. does that sound anything look like background checks for criminals or ban on high capacity ammo clips while duck hunting? right wing media is not going to tell though. they want their followers to believe that hitler was a liberal because he belonged to a national socialist party. but they were socialist only in name owns. in '33 hitler took way ban labor unions took way bargaining rights and he substantially increased the germany economy and used the force to dominate the world and countries who never attacked him. we call that preemptive war. and hitler hat hate gays so much he could have had his own radio show. don't take my word for it. google all this stuff. the nazi big lie theory continues

now, as we've noted before, the federal government covers the cost of the expansion for three years and then 90% thereafter. in other words, it is such a great deal that even a republican governor like ohio's john kasich is willing to overlook the deeply disturbing fact that it actually helps people in need and holds his nose while he accepts these funds. but a republican state house panel is nixing the $13 billion that would go toward providing 300,000 ohioans with healthcare. because the supreme court made accepting the funds optional and conservative groups have turned this into a litmus test. if you accept the funds many of your state citizens will be alive but you'll be dead to us. so republicans now have this sophie's choice of deciding what's more important? the health of their constituents or the health of their super pac donations. wtf, ohio. your politicians care about harming obama building up their standing with corporate interests and staying in the good graces of wealthy right wing fringe groups but the one thing these ohio lawmakers don't seem to care about at all is ohio
